Re: Warning (for Gisele) Contains anti-liberal material

What makes you think it is the color of someone's skin that makes them cross
the street after dark?
I'd do it no matter what skin color the man had. I don't think people cross
he street to avoid a woman.

So every police department in the entire country stops cars with black
people in it just for the hell of it? ?There is still prejudice in this

If you haven't had something like this happen to you, I guess you
can't imagine it. Why would it matter how many police departments
this is happening in? If you are a black person and it happens to you
repeatedly, if you see that look of fear in a white person's eyes that
makes them cross the street simply because they see you on a dark
street at night, you probably aren't wondering how many other black
people are getting that same treatment at that moment, because it's
happening to you, right then. As a white person, I'm not about to
minimize these kinds of experiences for black people or tell them they
simply should get over it.
